I am forwarding this message on behalf of Lesli Creedon at RFF.
Thank you! Susan Johnson Doyle Stewardship Coordinator Resources for the Future 1616 P Street, NW Washington, DC 20036 doyle@rff.org (202) 328-5038 (v) (202) 939-3460 (f) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Paul and I met with Frank Savage, President & CEO of Alliance Capital Managment International in NY today to see if he might be a good prospect for the RFF Board. Ken Lay arranged the meeting - Ken is on the board of Howard University (where Frank is chair) and Frank is on the Enron board. Frank also knows Linda and John Deutch (from the Council on Foreign Relations.) We had a very good meeting - brought him upto speed on RFF and how we are trying to expand our visability,esp in NY and in the financial community, through events, the Council, etc. Frank was very receptive to our plans, thought we needed to focus on specific topics of interest to the financial community and actions we could ask people to help with. He said he would love to come to Dod's breakfast in Feb.and learn more about RFF. Howard U. is clearly his biggest passion. We need to send a letter from Paul to him documenting previous conversations Paul has had with folks at Howard about our fellowship programs and our desire to have more African Americans apply. He will show it to the President and encourage him to act on it.) Next step: Lesli ask Ken Lay to call Frank, see what he thought of us, tell him more about his involvemnt on the Board, and see if Frank might want to consider the Board over the next couple of months.
